This show made me actually want the "bad" guy to win for a second, but only to a degree, when then I was happy to see him a desperate little coward on the run, and wanted him got. Hmm. Let me think about what I just said. It exposes corruption. Money. Drugs. Drugs being illegal. The black market. Life, and desperation. I felt bad for Walt, but understood how the will to survive, in desperate situations, can drive a person "bad", and that the climate of drugs (being illegal, for the main point) certainly doesn't breed anything good. It's not that I didn't have compassion for him, but I more and more felt like he was a beast that needed put down, with compassion for him and those around him.
It paints an ugly picture, and exposes some raw nerve, but I think it did a great job.
A great job in putting a mirror up to the ugly drug war, and it's ugly consequences. People in general are not ever "good". It's what we get away with.
He got away with "11" million, and lost his life, before he lost his life. For one.
